Message-ID: Dear friends, Check out this important film showing at the Art Theater co-op this weekend. A message from the Art Theater's general manager: Hi — this is Austin McCann from the Art Theater Co-op in Champaign. I wanted to alert you to a really special & important film opening this weekend at the Art. The film is Barry Jenkins’s *Moonlight*, which is about the coming-of-age of a young queer black man in Miami, based on Tarell Alvin McCraney’s play *In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue*. It broke indie box office records in its October release & is a major Oscar contender. Critical and audience reviews have been ecstatic, & it is a rare opportunity to see a film that tells such a badly-needed story so beautifully. This soul-bearing, heart-breaking, but restorative film looks at issues of race, sexuality, family & friendship, and masculinity with unflinching compassion. We’re recommending the film to everyone in the community and hoping you will all get a chance to come see the film. Please help us promote the film in your community, to your family & friends & groups. Here's more info: *Moonlight @ The Art Theater Co-op* (2016, U.S., 110 min, CC available) *The MPAA rated this film R for drug use, language, & sexuality, but we’re allowing everyone to come see the film who wants to. * Opens Fri, Nov 11 — plays every day Tickets: $6.50-9.75 — discounts for students, seniors, & youth For showtimes & tickets click here *Special post-show discussion after Monday’s 7:00pm show*, featuring Dr. Eric Darnell Pritchard (UIUC English — sexuality, gender, & race scholar, Bryce Henson (UIUC African-American Studies & communications), & more TBA A timeless story of human connection and self-discovery, *Moonlight* chronicles the life of a young black man from childhood to adulthood as he struggles to find his place in the world while growing up in a rough neighborhood of Miami. At once a vital portrait of contemporary African American life and an intensely personal and poetic meditation on identity, family, friendship, and love, *Moonlight* is a groundbreaking piece of cinema that reverberates with deep compassion and universal truths. Anchored by extraordinary performances from a tremendous ensemble cast, Jenkins’s staggering, singular vision is profoundly moving in its portrayal of the moments, people, and unknowable forces that shape our lives and make us who we are. (2016, Barry Jenkins, 110 min, R, DCP) *“Leaves you feeling both stripped bare and restored, slightly better prepared to step out and face the people around you, with all the confounding challenges they present. There’s not much more you can ask from a movie.” –Time Magazine” … both lyrical and deeply grounded in its character work, a balancing act that’s breathtaking to behold.” —RogerEbert.com“Moonlight takes the pain of growing up and turns it into hardened scars and private caresses. This film is, without a doubt, the reason we go to the movies: to understand, to come closer, to ache, hopefully with another.” —Time Out* *Contact information: * Austin McCann, General Manager @ Art Theater Co-op austin at arttheater.coop www.arttheater.coop -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The racist, sexist, immigrant-bashing, woman-molesting Trump would be the next CEO of the United States and commander-in-chief of U.S. imperialism. In deep shock and disbelief, tens of millions asked, how could this happen? In Muslim, Latino, African American and immigrant families there was raw fear. Soon mass protests began, with many chanting “Not My President” (as if Democrat Clinton, a certified warmonger, would have been?). At the same time, racist incidents multiplied. It is urgently necessary to fight back, but the question is how? The answer depends on understanding what happened, and why. Trump certainly mobilized the hard-core racist vote, and better-off middle class voters. But what put him over the top was the vote of residents of dying small towns and white workers in the Rust Belt, who have seen their jobs destroyed and cities devastated. The fact is that with their economic policies, the Democrats pushed millions of workers into the arms of Trump. What is urgently needed is to break from the Democrats, Republicans and all capitalist parties and build a class-struggle workers party. Such a party would fight for a program of mass workers action against the deportations, for workers defense guards against racist attacks, and to oppose the imperialist war drive in a struggle leading to workers revolution.
